Pavilion Descriptions
South Pavilion

The South Pavilion is Myakka's largest pavilion. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s.
The pavilion is located near the park entrance from State Road 72. It has a covered seating area (with picnic tables and a charcoal grill), bathrooms, a stage, a large field, electrical outlets, water fountains and a large stone grill.
The Myakka River runs behind the pavilion, providing wonderful wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Log Pavilion
- $80, plus tax, per day
- Max Capacity: 60 people
The Log Pavilion epitomizes Myakka's rustic charm. It centers around a walled area with lighting, fans and a hand-built stone fireplace. Roofed extensions spread out on each side of the walled area, providing shaded outdoor seating.
This pavilion was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps with hand-cut Cabbage Palms from Myakka River State Park. It has been painstakingly maintained with the woods and construction methods true to its original build, preserving its a historical value.
Behind the pavilion, a small grassy area shaded by a Live Oak and surrounding trees gives way to the Wild and Scenic Myakka River, completing the picturesque perfection of this pavilion. This pavilion has a palm-log bathroom nearby, as well as small charcoal grills, electrical outlet and water fountains.
The Lake Pavilion shares a parking lot with the concession.
